This is indeed one sweet little pocketknife. The Oso Sweet features a classic drop-point blade that gives you maximum workaday utility. First, the Oso Sweet opens one-handed with SpeedSafe assisted opening. Just pull back on the ambidextrous flipper and the blade moves out of the handle ready for use. Whether you're a left-hander or right-hander, your blade is easy to access and ready to go when you are. Kershaw heat-treats the 8Cr13MoV blade steel to bring out its high-performance characteristics like good edge retention, strength, hardness and wear resistance.

The handle is glass-filled nylon for excellent durability and incorporates a textured 'scales' pattern that gives the Oso Sweet a unique look. A locking liner secures the blade during use and closes easily for pocket carry or storage. The pocketclip can be reversed for tip-up or tip-down carry. Once you get your hands on one and start using it, we think it will be pretty popular with you, too.

Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.

Zytel Handles
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.

8CR13 Stainless Steel
Considered a value steel, 8Cr13 steel provides adequate corrosion resistance but with slightly more carbon than AUS-8, it will sharpen up and hold an edge better.

I own some much finer and more expensive knives from Benchmade, ZT, etc., and always will. But, on our acreage here, there are everyday tasks that about kill my knives (and have ruined many) so I always carry an inexpensive knife for them. I honestly can’t kill this little Chinese Kershaw! The blade is scratched to bits, etched from acid, and is plain old ugly. Yet, it still takes a great edge, the handles look new, the assisted-opening is still flawless. It’s tough, light, and an incredible value. I’ll be ordering a couple more so that I always own one, when the inevitable happens and I finally kill this.
